These dreaming-like photos are real, no Photoshop was used except in post-production editing, which were created by a reliable team, Montreal-based photographer Benjamin Von Wong, two models and seven expert safety divers. The photographer’s project was more of an extraordinary and challenging adventure than an inspirational photography creation. The models, who are experienced free divers as well, dived 25 meters to a 50-year-old sunken shipwreck in the waters of Bali and were tied to it, while they had to hold their breath on a shoot. “Teamwork – A word that truly begins to mean something when you’re shooting 25 meters underwater and your model tied to a 50 year old shipwreck in the middle of Bali where the slightest miscalculation could spell disaster, “Benjamin Von Wong said on his website, “I’ve been dreaming of taking shoots out of a swimming pool into a shipwreck so when my parents told me to take some time off and go on a vacation in Bali I leaped at the opportunity to put together this shoot.”
